Touch The Doll


Directed by Jessica Risco

Featuring Mark Vashro & Sarah David

FADE UP:

A stool sits center stage. On the stool sits a creepy looking doll. CANDACE stands stage left. She is pointing a gun at STEWART, who stands opposite her stage right.

CANDACE

You have to go back!

STEWART

No. I don't.

CANDACE

Look, just give it back to me and everyone walks outta here.

STEWART

It's just you and me, honey.

CANDACE

I swear I'll pull this trigger!

STEWART

Now why would you go and do a thing like that? You'd just be killing yourself.

CANDACE

And you!

STEWART

Look, I like it here. I don't wanna give this up. And if you kill me, you'll be stuck. Until you die.

(Candace YELLS with frustrated rage, and drops the gun to her side.)

CANDACE

Why do you always have to be right? It's so unfair!

STEWART

Honey, you haven't talked like that since you were 14 years old.

CANDACE

Come on, mom. Please? Please, can you just touch the creepy doll so we can swap bodies again? I want my life back.

STEWART

Honey. I love you. But are you kidding me? I mean, just look at this. I don't know if you know this, sweetie, but you are quite the hottie.

CANDACE

Ughn, mom! That's fucking disgusting.

STEWART

Language!

CANDACE

Are you kidding me right now?

STEWART

What? Just because I've taken your body hostage doesn't mean

I'm not still your mother. Now give me that gun before you

hurt someone! Pointing a gun at your own mother, my gosh!
